The Seattle Seahawks could consider signing OT Russell Okung to a contract extension this offseason in order to reduce his 2014 salary cap number. Okung is scheduled to have an $11.24 million salary cap figure next season

Seattle Seahawks OTs Russell Okung (toe) and Breno Giacomini (knee) and C Max Unger (concussion) are all expected to return to action in Week 11 against the Minnesota Vikings. However, offensive line coach Tom Cable knows it's too much to Okung and Giacomini to play the entire game. Okung hasn't played since Week 2 and Giacomini hasn't played since Week 3. "They haven't been in the fight for, shoot, seven, eight weeks now," Cable said. "So to expect them to just go the distance with no problems would probably be crazy on our part. So we'll continue to mix and match a little bit just to get through the game the right way."

Seattle Seahawks LT Russell Okung (toe), RT Breno Giacomini (knee) and C Max Unger (concussion) could all return next week to bolster the offensive line. Unger could be cleared to play following an absence due to concussion. Okung and Giacomini are scheduled to be at practice Wednesday, Nov. 13. Giacomini will be allowed to play whenever he is ready. Sunday's game against Minnesota will be the first time Okung can be activated after being put on short-term injury reserve following Week 2.

Seattle Seahawks OT Russell Okung (toe) is likely headed to the short-term Injured Reserve, which means he will have to miss at least eight weeks. The team feared Okung would be out for the rest of the season, but he got good news after receiving a second opinion from Dr. Robert Anderson.

Updating a previous report, Seattle Seahawks OT Russell Okung (toe) returned to the sidelines from the locker room in the second quarter of the Week 2 game against the San Francisco 49ers, but he has yet to return to the game. He is considered questionable to return.
